Free text-to-speech (TTS) reader for selected text, webpages, and pasted content. Listen with browser voices and speed controls. Tired of reading long webpages? VoiceRead is a text-to-speech extension that turns articles, blogs, news, selected text, and anything you type into speech with one click. Listen while you study, proofread, work, or multitask. VoiceRead uses voices available through your browser and operating system, with no additional speech provider to configure. Open it in Chrome's native Side Panel and keep the page visible while you listen. 🚀 MAIN FEATURES 🔹 Instant Read Aloud Select text or open a supported webpage and press Play to hear it read aloud. 🔹 Smart Page Detection VoiceRead detects the main readable content of articles, blogs, news, and other regular webpages. If automatic extraction is unavailable, select the exact text you want to hear or paste it into Input Text. 🔹 Click-to-Read Sections Long content is split into clear sections. Click any section to start playback from that point. 🔹 Native Side Panel Read and control speech from Chrome's Side Panel without covering the webpage. The playback controls remain fixed at the bottom while the content list scrolls independently. 🔹 Browser and System Voices Use native, remote, or third-party voices already exposed by your browser or operating system. Available voices and languages depend on your device. 🔹 Automatic Language Detection VoiceRead detects the language of the current text and selects a matching available voice when possible. 🔹 Custom Voice Controls Choose an available voice and adjust the reading speed. Your preferences are saved locally for the next session. 🔹 Complete Playback Controls Pause, resume, stop, skip to the next section, or return to the previous section at any time. 🔹 Input Text Paste or type your own notes, drafts, messages, lessons, or other content and listen to it. 🔹 Read Selection Shortcut Select text on a webpage and use the extension's read-selection command or right-click menu to start listening quickly. 💡 HOW TO USE VOICEREAD 1.
